Evpatoria

It's a good sunny Saturday (3rd May 2008), where we woke up early and headed for the elektrychka to Evpatoria just in time (8.20am). The whole journey is splendid where we played card games --- Bridge. We travelled light this time. In about 2 hours time, we reached Evpatoria.



We first went to the Central Rinak (market) there. We went straight to the cafe in the market (thanks to Oo and Noy for they been there before). We ordered the Guksu (13uah per bowl) and Manti (14uah per plate), which were superbly delicious. And the Guksu (Korean cold noodle soup) was of a large portion. The Manti (Turkish Dumplings) was warm and tasty and was so delicious that we called for another plate straight away.

We then walked and shopped. Just can't believe I again shopped something despite telling myself to save for summer trip. Gosh! Then we headed on to the beach and along the way, we bought souvenirs and met wit 2 Americans who were on Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ. They were lads who were stationed here.

The theme park wasn't opened fully yet. But still there were people playing and enjoying their time there. The beach was clean and although the water was still cold, Rex and Oo swam and played. The scene there is beautiful, locals started to sun-bathe in bikinis, parents strolling with their babies. It's wonderful. Fortunately I applied sufficient sunblock to protect myself from tanning.



What I did there was, I "babysit" a 2-year-old pretty boy --- Vladik. He wasn't into me at first, but when we started playing he just came on and on and I love him, haha. He used his lorry and fetches the sand. Then when I fed him with some junk food, he was so clever that he ate the junk food here and ran back to his mum for a drink and returned here for his snack. He was so cute!



We then left with a tram looking around the town and back to the train station where we again caught just in time (5.05pm) for the eletrychka (5.11pm).

*2-way ticket Simferopol-Evpatoria-Simferopol = 9.80uah*

P/S : Evpatoria has an Old Town which offers some sites which are nice to visit :
Karaite, Jewish Synagogue, Mosque etc.


Enjoy your trip :D
